I, too, am a mask wearer, and I have a feeling that one of my colleagues, the only other one in my department who also masks up, only does it because I do.<br/><br/>(Meanwhile, my other colleague who is very severely affected by long covid, still doesn&#39;t mask up.) 2024-09-23T10:05:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsztkux9jpejd07nvflqhcjs6ftstwdlptydxrgk68yextuu7240qgzyr0l68vqj8y97jsz46fgvnxw8xndej9ekkvegxsspfqedyfsr9yuwqwuf04 I&#39;m really enjoying this trend of 60-somethings using Gen-Z terminology to sell a thing. <br/><br/>Slang instantly becomes uncool this instant we Olds start using it, so these videos exist in a fleeting, liminal space, teetering on the cliff of currentness; hovering over the abyss of desertion. In their very creation they destroy what they celebrate. <br/><br/>Treasure them when you see them, for they will soon evaporate like dew, their beauty lost, like a memory of youth no longer visible in a wrinkled visage. 2024-09-22T13:53:35Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8tfghvuxnh5e2mqumrlgdtplw6ne5h0w4aywprqrk9x99mxt038qzyr0l68vqj8y97jsz46fgvnxw8xndej9ekkvegxsspfqedyfsr9yuwz85kvy Hey, help me out here.

For example: &#39;I have picked up half a fuckton of garlic&#39;. <br/><br/>In today&#39;s grocery delivery, I ordered a full fuckton of onions. Because the grocery store does not offer metric fucktons, I had to translate that into 4 kilograms of onions.<br/><br/>Instead, I got 4 onions.<br/><br/>Four onions is not a fuckton!<br/><br/>#alliums 2024-09-22T08:30:12Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9x7hzlp2ydacqzl9whrt576t3lrhv4fzrj5w0a78h9fuuhx2ntkszyr0l68vqj8y97jsz46fgvnxw8xndej9ekkvegxsspfqedyfsr9yuwvzdmz7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvyaax85e5s8wxuknvmh98kyplmq8reps687h9ukanegrgzemd0tq4ew4ru'>nevent1q…w4ru</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>it has stopped 2024-09-20T06:18:01Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvyaax85e5s8wxuknvmh98kyplmq8reps687h9ukanegrgzemd0tqzyr0l68vqj8y97jsz46fgvnxw8xndej9ekkvegxsspfqedyfsr9yuw8606qa In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0qzxl580390uhhwgcpjw4mutyqrymlwvrg4kwnqyx58r3jvw6eggecjkl2'>nevent1q…jkl2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>make it stooooooooooop 2024-09-20T06:04:57Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0qzxl580390uhhwgcpjw4mutyqrymlwvrg4kwnqyx58r3jvw6eggzyr0l68vqj8y97jsz46fgvnxw8xndej9ekkvegxsspfqedyfsr9yuwxgsvt3 good morning i have the hiccups 2024-09-20T05:57:16Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdea0mltrtp2q47ykc92ry28xrqf5lahsax7gdlwc6zuqywty0w4qzyr0l68vqj8y97jsz46fgvnxw8xndej9ekkvegxsspfqedyfsr9yuwpcpe03 I really enjoy how snooty Eckart Frahm is when he describes Ashurbanipal (king of the world, king of Assyria, 7th century BCE):<br/><br/>&#34;Yes, yes, he assembled the world&#39;s largest library of cuneiform texts; and we&#39;re very grateful and all, but, look, despite his boasts to the contrary, the dude was not that great a scholar.

Just chuck it in the coffee grounds when you pour over the water. It&#39;s such a nice way to make your morning a little bit special.<br/><br/>(Cardomom is very strong, so you might want to start small. I broke open one green pod and only put about half the seeds inside into my coffee cone. I think it would have been too strong if I&#39;d used the whole pod. I like it with just a hint of fragrance, myself) 2024-09-03T07:28:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstmkvdff2radpfu4d6939wyzd59uph6rjyx40ae437p3vm9vulh5szyr0l68vqj8y97jsz46fgvnxw8xndej9ekkvegxsspfqedyfsr9yuwad2jaf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf2858q4n379xpqpt5s9jawjc5cl22y36f8mjugl82wcwye6cytrqg9pusu'>nevent1q…pusu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yup.

For people who have watched Only Murders In The Building, S1 e1, there&#39;s a shot right at the end of Mabel&#39;s &#39;Hardy Boys&#39;, and the camera lingers on one of the faces in particular. It&#39;s a tall thin dark-haired boy.<br/><br/>The dead guy in the building was also tall and thin and dark-haired.<br/><br/>Are they supposed to be the same person? Is the revelation in that shot supposed to be that Mabel knows the dead guy?<br/><br/>#OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding 2024-08-28T08:25:07Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyqutaud0drke9eee0cmtmah4n2fx8gsj2azddwp2mt04sdslffpgzyr0l68vqj8y97jsz46fgvnxw8xndej9ekkvegxsspfqedyfsr9yuw09z69r Hey, it seems there&#39;s now a treatment that allows 95% of people with cystic fibrosis to live typical lives with normal lifespans!<br/><br/>#ShareGoodNewsToo <br/><br/><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/aug/25/real-hope-for-cystic-fibrosis-patients-as-nhs-rolls-out-life-changing-drug">https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/aug/25/real-hope-for-cystic-fibrosis-patients-as-nhs-rolls-out-life-changing-drug</a> 2024-08-25T08:41:58Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs934eawnakf5clh23ecyzh9yyl26zyg0l56yxfn9cpqj75u7gyg8czyr0l68vqj8y97jsz46fgvnxw8xndej9ekkvegxsspfqedyfsr9yuwylhf8m Hey--I have committed another Art.
